The Twats, as they’re affectionately recognized, don’t shrink back from the essential subjects together with, however not restricted to thigh chafe, urinary tract infections, and folks assuming you don’t know the way to tune a guitar since you’re a girl (FFS).
Commenting on the one, the London-based band stated: “Our new single is in regards to the assumption that you simply’re the singer of the band simply since you’re a girl. All feminine musicians can have an expertise that they might inform you about the place they’ve been spoken to as in the event that they don’t know the way to play their instrument. So we wrote this thrashy anthem for them (and us). Alongside this theme we’ve made a music video the place we use guitar picks as pretend nails, a trumpet as a hoover, and a jack lead as a washing line for our tiny pants. As a result of that’s all we may presumably do with devices, proper?!”
